Advanced Directives 

Joining us on Well Said is Dr. Maria Carney, Chief of the Division of Geriatric and Palliative Medicine in the Department of Medicine for Long Island Jewish Medical Center and North Shore University Hospital and Adam Kahn, Adjunct Professor with the Master’s in Health Law and Policy Program at University and a Senior Fellow for the Gitenstein Institute for Health Law and Policy at Hofstra University. They will be helping us unpack the complex topic of Advanced Directives; or written statements of a person’s wishes regarding medical treatment, often including a living will, made to ensure those wishes are carried out should the person be unable to communicate them to a doctor.
